Bitter Mushroom posted:won't DLC factions like that split the playerbase? Well factions are tied to maps, right? So it's more that DLC maps will split the playerbase. Just as they did for BF4 and 3.

Perestroika posted:Holy gently caress, that dynamic plane damage from 28:00 on. There is also going to be dynamic tank damage and they don't self repair anymore. The tank and sky lords will hate it. V for Vegans posted:That's level cap in a nutshell. He claims to love battlefield because of its vehicles and teamwork, but then complains when he can't be equally as effective against vehicles as any class. I hope that artillery plays a big roll in a bunch of maps and he hates it but can't stop playing because he knows where his bread is buttered.

sbaldrick posted:There is also going to be dynamic tank damage and they don't self repair anymore. Both planes and tanks can self repair but there's a few conditions. 1) You have to stop and not shoot as a tank. Planes have to fly straight, slow, and will apparently slowly lose altitude while doing it. Don't know if the auto-repair can fix the structure damage though. 2) You have to spawn in them at the tanker/pilot class. If a tanker/pilot class bails out of their vehicle and you as a regular infantry class get in you can't repair it and have to rely on the medic class (which also repairs vehicles). Bitter Mushroom posted:won't DLC factions like that split the playerbase? It looks like it's going to be playing France or whatever on the maps that come with the DLC. So the split won't be any worse than what it is currently.

that article sort of implies that you at some point play as French in the campaign but that still really sucks. also I thought I saw French tanks in one of the videos so who is driving those?

Looks like they stretched a bit with the tanks to get light, medium and large for each side because that French Renault light tank you saw in the footage was driven by the German team. It had the iron cross painted like it was captured or whatever.

Battlefield youtubers are generally the worst battlefield players. I watched xfactors reaction video where he discussed his thoughts and feelings of playing the game and one of his biggest debates was that each class felt too individualized and that they should be more blended. It's like these people don't even play battlefield. The only battlefield youtuber who truly understood the game was shibby2142 but he gave up and switched to tf2 shortly after bf4 released.

In fairness IRL captured Armor was fairly important for the Germans during the Spring offensive, certainly they were more important than their own tanks of which they only built like twenty that saw service. E; I guarantee this ridiculous thing will be one of the behemoths in future maps even though none of them were actually finished or deployed:

I know the Germans used captured British tanks, but I guess they're going for some kind of watered down thing where every side has access to every tank? Seeing Brits/Allies driving A7V's is a little dumb. And no Whippet tanks?

Mordja posted:Welp, looks like you're gonna have to pay extra if you want to play as the French. Guessing Russia will be the same down the line. I am all but certain the only reason they are pay-walling the French is because they are going to try and release a big ole' Battle of Verdun campaign/map pack because it's like the one battle that the layman even kind of knows about by name. At least in the States. E: the real money will be in the Lawrence of Arabia pack though. German Trains versus Arabs all day. Paranoid Dude fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jun 15, 2016 |

Funny how even one minute of straight gameplay footage is a lot more enticing than 30 clips of 3-4 seconds spliced together like some kind of ADD awareness campaign.

To be fair, DLC bullshit like this does help maintain a decently sized player base by never giving you the entire game until a couple months before the next one comes out.

Lazyfire posted:Most of the BF4 Youtube people are so used to playing with squads that follow them around and cover things like revives and spotting and killing vehicles that they are near incapable of teamwork and have become incredibly dependent on these other players to make them look good. Noticed this with Overwatch, too. Usually guys who uncompromisingly play Attacker characters and nothing else while the healer in their group doesn't heal anyone but the streamer.

That is because each dlc pack focuses on a interesting region of the war. So each dlc starting with the French faction will be centered on conflicts they were the forefront of. This also allow them to have a bit more leeway about the types of weapons that come with the dlc. Since they had a lot of troops in these battles they can add more interesting guns that may have seen limited use.

Like if the French were in launch and the Italians as DLC there wouldn't be nearly as much stink about it. Atleast they managed to get in the Ottomans at launch. And if this is their plan then maybe we'll see a DLC with Bulgaria or Greece or even Japan.

Its kind of awkward the way there are a swathe of allied armies that could be represented in the game but only four central powers that can be used. I doubt the Bulgarians will show up in any event.

I originally would have assumed that Bulgaria would never be featured even in DLC simply because probably 70% of the playerbase would be unable to locate Bulgaria on a map. But thats probably just as true of Austria and Hungary, let alone the former Empire. so who knows.

I doubt the Bulgarians will show up in any event. How many people who will buy this game actually know about the Serbian front? A man named Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry and so a war started (Though, Franz Ferdinand probably did kill an Ostrich once because he was hungry. Man slaughtered animals for fun hunting with machine guns). Besides, the Serbian front is just a year of Austro Hungary embarrassing itself, followed by a month long extermination campaign by three central powers.

Eh, if you're going to have Italy and (eventually perhaps) the Eastern front you can't avoid the Austrians. The Bulgarians were much more localized and in the front that probably gets most forgotten in the West.
